Sinner to face Zverev in the 2025 Australian Open final

The finalists of the first Grand Slam tournament of the season, the 2025 Australian Open, have been determined today in Melbourne.

Details: In the second semifinal, world number one Jannik Sinner defeated 22-year-old American Ben Shelton in straight sets.

In the first set, Sinner saved two set points on Shelton’s serve and forced a tiebreak, where he triumphed 7-2.

The next two sets were entirely dominated by the Italian, both ending with an identical score of 6-2.

This marks Sinner’s second consecutive Australian Open final. Last year, he defeated Daniil Medvedev to claim the title.

Reminder: Sinner’s opponent in the final will be Alexander Zverev, who advanced earlier today after Novak Djokovic retired due to injury.
